Hi I'm in New Jersey and started up my bio fall today. I looked ahead and the 30 day forecast didn't show anything under 39 degrees. This is the soonest I've ever started the pond. Any one else start their pond this early?

I have not started but the weather makes it cross your mind, 70 degrees today here. Usually I start in April sometime, will see how it goes.

I'm too close to Manhattan for bears. I'm getting some plants around the pond starting to show some life. Haven't fed the fish yet but all are accounted for and very active! My fifth spring starting!
